My mother's father who fought in WW1 I think it was, or maybe before that, (a long time ago for sure) said that no matter how tired you thought you were, when you heard the bagpipes you could somehow always get up and go on!
EVERY Scottish descendant *LOVES* the bonny sound of the bagpipes!! It just comes naturally to us, because it's in our blood and in our souls. I 💖 Scotland and I 💖 bagpipes!!!
Hey thanks but what about the theory that the couch invented the bagpipe on their migration folowing the Graizing Herdz Roaming too the Central &Central-western Geographical Plains Europe from an Original Land North of the Black Sea the East of Babylon Yah!! Then theyw're nugded futher and futher west and south by later Dorian; Romanised Germanic Peoples and Later Hunic And Slavic Cultures and Finally To The Stoic Windsweeped Isles; Thee MOST-Westerly and ta Moist North Of (Geo'ic Europe'z Largest A
I read an article some years ago that mentioned North African shepherds using bagpipes to call their flocks. Haven't been able to locate it yet,but if I do, will post it here.
Abosolutely love pipes and drums. They used to make me cry then I learned how much Scottish I am and embrace in my limited American Life. You're awesome Robert! Keep them coming!
@ 2 minutes and 15 seconds in, Clandonia! They rock!! I have much of their music saved. I play it on the outdoor speakers when I'm shooting arrows with my bow. One of my favorite video's by far. Thank you Robert! 🎻🥁🏹🔥🕺❤
Scotland will be a lawless shitehole soon because of the SNP and mass third world immigration, look at London prime example of what Scotland will become.
How do you account for the presence of ancient, non-military, indigenous bagpipe traditions in Persia, Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czechs, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Albania, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Sicily, and North Africa? These are ethnic groups with no genetic or linguistic ties to Gaelic speaking peoples. Are we just going to ignore evidence of these traditions, or the well documented trend of many other instruments originating in the East and moving westward into Europe via trade routes?
12th July in Northern Ireland no greater sound than hearing the bagpipes and the Lambeg drum coming down the road. Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Here in Northern Ireland, it’s believed bagpipes were brought over the water to Scotland by the colonising Scots tribes from Ulaid ( Gaelic over-kingdom in north-eastern Ireland )
That was beautiful Robert. Thank You! I suspect the origins of the Bag Pipes venture back to the Druids. My Mother's Father was Irish and I'm now a Grandmother and Mother of two very grown sons. My Mother had an affinity second to none for the Bag Pipes. They moved her in a very big way. I suspect they go back many of thousands of years ~ Thank You ~ Oh and I also love them and really love them with drums that are a tad on the wild side ;)
The town in Nova Scotia Antigonish has the oldest Highland Games in Canada. I was a highland dancer. I love the Bag pipes. Mass cvb pipe band is magical.
I just found you Robert and I love both of your channels keep up the awsome work you should have millions of subs I see it in the near future.THUMBS UP
Neil Anderson the Jimi Hendrix of the highland bagpipes... He's got his own band ,,, but he played with the Celtic rock band 7 Nations ... I go to a lot of highland games and they have a lot of bagpipe contests ... And every Piper on the mountain is trying to do Neil Anderson's tunes ... It's all you hear ... And you hear it for several days after you come home ... Love your work ... Thanks ,,, D
Here's a sample of seven Nations with Neil Anderson on the bagpipes... A cover so it's something you recognize ,,, under the milky way is always been a favorite of mine ... Seven Nation does a good version ,,, they put a bridge in it thanks ... David ... ua-cam.com/video/ZVa1b9cO3Ro/v-deo.html
I used to be absolutely TERRIFIED of bagpipes when I was younger. It was the way they looked mostly. Just very odd looking.. the sound also scared tf out of me too. One time when I was 5, my family was at a children’s event at our local mall and for some ungodly reason there was a pipe band there that randomly started playing. The moment I heard them I darted out the doors and ran into the middle of the parking lot almost getting hit by a sedan. Now at 29 I don’t mind them at all. I actually like when people play classical music on them! :)
Wow! The dudes at 2:19 are amazing. Where can I see more of them? Thanks for including them Robert, and for this fascinating report. Didn't the English make the pipes illegal for the Scots - way back when? Tells you how powerful the pipes can be in rousing the spirit.
Great Video! My theory is that it was either introduced by the roman armies who grabbed it from the Greeks, Turks and Persians or it way spread by nomadic gypsies from Rajastan who made there way through Persia, Greece, the Balkans and Europe. They were skilled craftsman, musicians and shepherds. Each country they went through could have inspired people to make there own, which is why there's so many different versions. Another interesting point is that as it spread through the Middle East, Anatolia (Turkey) and the Balkans there's a split between single and double chanter bagpipes. Double with no drones tends to be further south in the Mediterranean even as far south as Sudan, while north has a single chanter and drone (mainland Greece, Thrace, Armenia and around the Black Sea). If you go further north, you start to see two drones added especially in Thrace and Macedonia. Macedonia was a Roman state at one point, know for there armies which could have led them to be contracted by Julius Caesar's army to take over Britain. Its hard to tell when the third drone was added, but some think it was heavily influenced by Spain with the Gaita, or the Italian Piva or maybe the Scots wanted to differentiate themselves from the Irish War Pipe. I'm not an expert, just a thought.
I only started to like the bagpipes after listening to the last group that played. Does anyone know their name? She dances and gets down with the drummer. Love that one!
Amazing content Robert! I was initially drawn by your topics on forbidden history and UFOs but your presentation over the vast cultural topics is what keeps me clicking away and at the end, wholly satisfied that I learned something new. Thank you and keep up the good work 👍
Bag Pipes have a tricky story because the Irish didn't "invent" the bag pipes. As with almost everything else in Greek and Roman culture, bag pipes are piece of north African-middle eastern tradition.
The one thing I do know for sure is: That the bagpipe has a Clear resonance with the Soul of the Irish & Scots. So , That could indicate a longer connection with the people of Ireland & Scotland. But, Who knows. Their culture may have just saw the Absolute beauty in its sounds, Then adopted it adopted it and kept it central to their culture.
nope. Both the great highland pipes and the uilleann pipes were developed in Victorian era. and the uileann pipes with the resnators is a 20th century invention. ALtho bagpipes are ancient instruments, all types of pipes found and played in the british isles are kinda modern. Of all the countries and tribes in europe ... the scots were the last ones who adopted the bagpipes.
In Munich, on the Marienplatz, there's a depiction of a man playing the bagpipes carved in stone. The Greeks love their Tsampouna bagpipes. (I think the Tsampouna make the absolutely worse noise on earth.)
I think instruments might have originally been associated with battle. Irish had huge war harps that later became a ‘musical’ instrument in times of peace. Drums seem to be universal with others being cultural such as a digeridoo (Australia), harp (Ireland) and bagpipe (Scotland) etc. . It’s possible that the bagpipe originated elsewhere and was picked up by Scotland, but the Scots have such a reputation of being proud and ornery that they originated the bagpipe because they hated the Romans so much.
I love your videos because they all come back to the fact that, we as humans ALL share the same origins. Regardless of culture race or color there are WAY too many similararities to be ignored. Well done. ps: anyone know the name of the last group with the belly dancer?
They are also the only instrument that has been demonized. How many times have you seen on tv or heard someone say ‘ew what is that horrid noise?’, they know what it is. As if it’s subconsciously programmed.
First day freshman physics professor entered the lecture hall playing bagpipes in full kilt uniform. It was a moving experience. Aced the weed out class was invited to be a teaching assistant.
I wonder if the bagpipe was envisioned when an under water air bag, with a breathing "pipe", was being deflated. This event would make a humorous skit.
Beautiful love bagpipes and drums I can easily imagine our ancestors enjoying on a nice spring or summer afternoon watching and listening to the tribes players lifting the spirits of weary tired members of the tribe tapping there foot as the eat some snacks and you know they had that going throughout history men women babies and food shared prepared all together a simpler time to when hard work was really hard and pleasure was simpler in s communal setting that loyalty strength fairness equality respect the tradition almost all cherished it would be easy to see the sharing and bartering was how commerce among tribes with various novelties they have garnished that time before, modernization and industrialization, the big cities, the hustle and bustle has forgotten, the evils of money became to control say the old rich mans Gold idea, simple man the song comes to mind as well.
Of all the countries and tribes in Europe .... Scotland and the Scots where the last ones who addopted the bagpipes. Bagpipes are very much a continental instrument, later brought over to the British isles. The organological history of bagpipes on the continent goes back MUCH further than in the UK. First evidence of bagpipes in Scotland is from many centuries after the romans left. The bagpipes was intruduced in Scotland in the 15th century The great highland bagpipes as we know them today are pretty much modern instruments stemming from the 18th century and further developed in the Victorian era. There is absolutely NOTHING ancient about a great highland bagpipes.
amazing. Right up until there was some guy who seemed to be confused about who he was and where he was. The dude with the hat on crooked and that horrific gangsta symbol around his neck... omg
Yeah, the scotish and irish types of bagpipes are interesting. By my observation, it is an instrument which stimulate the body of the people, all videos, were music plus dances. The rhytm of the music is fast, so the people enjoy it with dancing. But in that video and the story and history of the bagpipe, Robert Sepehr missed to show the Bulgarian type of bagpipe. It has a different name, but the instrument is the same. The main difference is that so called "KabaGaida" is made of sheep skin and the sound is much deeper. The Bulgarian songs with Kabagaidas are for the soul, and you can feel it how ancient are they. Songs full of sorrow. A mountain's music, the most popular here in Bulgaria are the songs and performances of the Rhodope mountain region. From a comments I have red, the scotish bagpipe players said, that is much harder to play on Bulgarian Gaida. Here you are some examples of what I am talking about... ua-cam.com/video/jccGfGBkky4/v-deo.html - 333 Rhodopian bagpipers playing for World Guinness Records at the National Palace of Culture in Sofia, Bulgaria on the 16th of May 2012. ua-cam.com/video/SWtQ7cbhWjw/v-deo.html - The magic or the Rhodopian's Gaida. ua-cam.com/video/IewlKabMiSA/v-deo.html - 2 hours pure magick. ua-cam.com/video/S_MMr7otDrE/v-deo.html&start_radio=1&t=4 - 50 years "100 bagpipes band" - concert ua-cam.com/video/u6DsONwFVbc/v-deo.html%20-%20Bulgaria%27s%20Rozhen%20Festival ua-cam.com/video/tEhcPgVBd2Y/v-deo.html Bulgara - Nestinarsko: Modern band, playing with Bulgarian national musical instruments, Kaba gaida, Gadulka, Tambura, Kaval, Tapan. ua-cam.com/video/7lJYq6bjHTQ/v-deo.html - Valja Balkanska- Izlel e Delio hajdutin: the song is part of the Voyager Golden Record selection of music included in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977.

Just be glad you don't have a neighbor that's into playing the bagpipes. That shit will rattle the windows in your house. Often times I've found that playing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up on your largest speaker, pointed in their direction works rather well.
In response to Bek'a of Georgia. You spoke of the Colch people of western Georgia who play the pipes. Colch might be cognate with the Irish word for wood, which is Coillte.
I am of Scottish Highland descent...I remembered when I was a little girl my father let me play the bagpipes...he only did that ONE TIME. 😮...I ASSUME THAT IT DID NOT GO WELL...BUT HE DIDN'T LET ME KNOW THAT AT THE TIME😊. I would like to know more about my l I neage but this year I will be 68 yrs. old...I am not sure if my parents are still alive...and I am not sure how to find them. I am intrigued by your videos , books and subject matters. I have a very rare bloodtype... My name on here is a PSUEDYMN. I know my real name according to DNA...I was contacted by Scotland Yard a few years ago...( my biological family may have been trying to contact me.) People here keep 'running interference ' and blocking communications with my biological family...and when I tried to call Scotland Yard back...as they requested.. the call was cut off...I had a secured line with them on my tablet...and was in communication for a while...then my tablet was cut off and came up missing.
My mother's father who fought in WW1 I think it was, or maybe before that, (a long time ago for sure) said that no matter how tired you thought you were, when you heard the bagpipes you could somehow always get up and go on!
I've experienced this. Love the bagpipes
EVERY Scottish descendant *LOVES* the bonny sound of the bagpipes!! It just comes naturally to us, because it's in our blood and in our souls. I 💖 Scotland and I 💖 bagpipes!!!
Amazing video! Sepehr has the most underrated channel on youtube.
most underrated NARRATOR of all time.

He isn't underated. He is rated the best haha
I didn't cry at my grandfather's funeral, until the bagpipes started. tears welled up instantly.
Amazing Grace on the pipes absolutely tears me up. I've heard it played in rounds. Absolutely heart rending.
I felt it reading your comment ... thanks ... Dave
I read an article some years ago that mentioned North African shepherds using bagpipes to call their flocks. Haven't been able to locate it yet,but if I do, will post it here.
@2:20 those dudes are awesome. You can feel the raw and primal energy. Its just amazing.
When I hear this kind of music makes me want to either cry or jump on a horse and charge into battle.
It resonates a frequency throughout the body and soul. .
I love to watch guys in kilts jump around and make noise. It's primitive and gets my energy level up. You go guys!
This guys channel is brilliant. Could listen to him all day
Thank you Mr Sepehr
I've heard the oldest bagpipe (a single drone type) was found in Egypt.
So was the first mason apron..
Abosolutely love pipes and drums. They used to make me cry then I learned how much Scottish I am and embrace in my limited American Life. You're awesome Robert! Keep them coming!

Mine too....I hear the sounds....and my blood...I can feel my blood flowing through my very veins.
My country is so beautiful! Love the bagpipes 💗 thank you
Scotland will be a lawless shitehole soon because of the SNP and mass third world immigration, look at London prime example of what Scotland will become.
Just ordered your book on Vril. Look forward to reading it and more videos. Thank you.
Bagpipes: Material culture passed down and passed through the Galatians, the Galecians, the Gauls and the Gaelic.
and Galileans, possibly?
azath house no mate. In English it makes sense but not in Portuguese or Spanish.
How do you account for the presence of ancient, non-military, indigenous bagpipe traditions in Persia, Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czechs, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Albania, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Sicily, and North Africa?

Thank you for your video. It was very good!
Sleepy af and was gonna go to sleep but the title of this video was too intriguing to resist!
Just watch the Queen's funeral and had to come back and see this video. Beautiful ceremony by the way made me tear up.
Your videos are the best of YT, than you. Everyone of them makes me want to read , find more about the subjects, a brain full joy.
Bagpipe is the first musical instrument I heard the tunes when I was three years old when QE II came to visit this island. More five decades ago.
12th July in Northern Ireland no greater sound than hearing the bagpipes and the Lambeg drum coming down the road. Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

My favorite instrument, always makes me tear up when i hear it played
I love any instrument that harmonizes with earths resonance. Thank you so much for sharing your information.
Knocking out horn, drum, or pipe was top priority on the military field of battle.
Yes, I enjoyed this very much. Thank you, m.m.
I just found you Robert and I love both of your channels keep up the awsome work you should have millions of subs I see it in the near future.THUMBS UP
When I saw the title of the video I thought to myself, “I hope this doesn’t involve blood eagle”.
If ever there was music to stir the soul and get a man ready for battle, it just has to be a pipe band! I absolutely love it!
I love the sound of bagpipes
They sound best underwater.
.... in the morning. It sounds like..... victory!
Dear Robert, excellent as usual. Just a friendly tip, take a look at the West African Kora.
Love bagpipe music. It is not everyone’s favorite instrument but to me is happy music.
The Bagpipe is considered an Instrument of War or a Military Weapon in the Scottish Military.
do a documentary on mala beads like tulsi wood! loved the bagpipes ! learned alot

Hush my dear one - sleep serenely -
First bagpipe tune was a welsh lullaby at one point I think! Texan here
HMTQ funeral brought me here :( what a haunting lamenting sound of the lone piper walking away today :(
Thanks for the music.
They're CELTIC alright - tribal CELTIC!!!! - ancient days ❤️
From the angels, being from Brittany that sound moves me from the end of my soul .And harps the same.
Fabulous, Robert, thank you!
I used to be absolutely TERRIFIED of bagpipes when I was younger. It was the way they looked mostly. Just very odd looking.. the sound also scared tf out of me too.

Great Video! My theory is that it was either introduced by the roman armies who grabbed it from the Greeks, Turks and Persians or it way spread by nomadic gypsies from Rajastan who made there way through Persia, Greece, the Balkans and Europe.

Great.
What about the Irish Uilleann pipes imo a much more ancient echo of our ancestors.
Bang on white wolf.
you cant beat the elbow pipes,
nope. Both the great highland pipes and the uilleann pipes were developed in Victorian era. and the uileann pipes with the resnators is a 20th century invention. ALtho bagpipes are ancient instruments, all types of pipes found and played in the british isles are kinda modern. Of all the countries and tribes in europe ... the scots were the last ones who adopted the bagpipes.
Very talented, the drums used reminds me of pow wow
In Munich, on the Marienplatz, there's a depiction of a man playing the bagpipes carved in stone. The Greeks love their Tsampouna bagpipes. (I think the Tsampouna make the absolutely worse noise on earth.)
This s last band is called Tartanic. I recognize them from a Renaissance faire
Those guys around 2:20 rocked the scene!
I thought this was a very well done presentation, see you used my favorite group Tartanic there at the end. Love pipes!!!

Bagpipes and belly dancing - now we're getting somewhere.
Quite frankly, they make my blood boil, and I feel a need to crack skulls!
Ah, amazing to see big peal drumming away there in Glasgow!!!
This is the definition of kunst.
It's all about being free legged it's a atavistic reminder of our wild untamed attachment to our ancestral more nature connected past,slainte!

do a follow up video now that you know so much more ??
Fantastic video. Would like to see a video about the myths of the Scots or the Welsh. The Celts are fascinating
It also has deep roots in Southeastern Europe culture, of old Thracian ancestry. Check instruments like CIMPOI or GAIDA
Well, I can see that the Bulgarian and Greek bagpipes are missing 🙄
Thank you 👍🙂
dude, this is cool

Just be glad you don't have a neighbor that's into playing the bagpipes. That shit will rattle the windows in your house. Often times I've found that playing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up on your largest speaker, pointed in their direction works rather well.
Bloody spoilsport you are!
King David played the bagpipes
The Irish uilleann pipes are worth looking up, they have a much sweeter and more complex sound, than Irish war pipes, or Scottish bagpipes.
The Second Melodie (air), what´s the Name of it?
I feel that the Celts were an older society, & more prolific than contemporary historians will admit.
Watch the movie: The Whale Rider!!! Beautiful movie involving animals, music & the souls call! 😍
In response to Bek'a of Georgia. You spoke of the Colch people of western Georgia who play the pipes. Colch might be cognate with the Irish word for wood, which is Coillte.
The Irish Uilleann Pipes has a sweater sound.
northumbrian smallpipes are even more sweeter sounding
I am of Scottish Highland descent...I remembered when I was a little girl my father let me play the bagpipes...he only did that ONE TIME. 😮...I ASSUME THAT IT DID NOT GO WELL...BUT HE DIDN'T LET ME KNOW THAT AT THE TIME😊.
I would like to know more about my l I neage but this year I will be 68 yrs. old...I am not sure if my parents are still alive...and I am not sure how to find them.
I am intrigued by your videos , books and subject matters.
I have a very rare bloodtype...
My name on here is a PSUEDYMN.
I know my real name according to DNA...I was contacted by Scotland Yard a few years ago...( my biological family may have been trying to contact me.)
People here keep 'running interference ' and blocking communications with my biological family...and when I tried to call Scotland Yard back...as they requested.. the call was cut off...I had a secured line with them on my tablet...and was in communication for a while...then my tablet was cut off and came up missing.
From what I was told the origin of the bagpipe was " an Irishman gave a Scotsman a bagpipe and TOLD him it was an instrument".LoL
Every kind of people are effected by music and drums aka frequencies and vibrations
Greece, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Italy North Africa, Asia etc... etc... cast your net far wider my friend,
